What's being highly speculated about it however is that it will be the fabled multi-crew tank alot of Tankers (myself included) have always wanted. That means a dedicated driver similar to what we have with Harassers or Sunderers with 1 player controlling the main cannon and another on the Tertiary gun.
Will this thing be a heavy tank or just a variant of normal MBT's? I don't know, but for me guessing based on what I see in the base model I imagine this tank won't have any special ability like the Faction Specific MBT' have.
Beyond a multi-crew experience I look at the main cannon and it looks exactly like the Artillery guns you see hidden away inside Tech-Plants.... If it is such a heavy piece of ordinance I would venture a guess that this things main cannon hits really hard.... If this is true then whatever main cannon this monster fields is the real selling point for why we field this beast!
Bottom line - I'm excited for this clanker and I pity the resource cost given just how many methods of Anti-Vehicle there is in this game. Given the current state of the game and how much difficulty the MBT has being a competitor, it will be a real thrill to make this monster effective!

I hope the TR get their own version with 4 barrels, taking down those pesky NC will be so much easier.

So it's going to be OP, and mainly run by one person who drives into position, and then shoots. And then nerfed when everyone complains that they get blown up by infantry when they're too busy shooting the cannon to notice the vehicle health bar.
Good bye faction MBTs, it was great seeing you on the battlefield.
Seriously though, I'd love to see the damned thing not move unless there's at least 2 people in it, or give the driver something to do like range targets, laze, whatever. Maybe nerf the impact of the shell unless the driver assists in targeting or something like that. They have to find a way to keep the driver in the seat.

Seat swapping in games has always been the bane of vehicular combat. The only problem is it's rather needed and makes sense for things like the Sundy and Galaxy.
On the flip side, I'm now eating my words because I do believe I said I wanted to fire that big gun in the tech plant.

On a side note it totally looks exactly like a Mammoth tank from C&C  |

Huh, so that's what the guns in the techplant go to..
the turret and guns are on the flag deck of most of the techplants.
